Data Streams Part III: Approximate Query Evaluation
Line
Speaker: Reynold CHENG

 

Abstract

Last Friday, we discussed the memory boundness problem of evaluating continuous queries in a data stream system. It was assumed that the answers to the queries are exact i.e., no errors or approximations to the answers are allowed. In this talk, we relax this requirement. We investigate how, by sacrificing certain degree of accuracy, continuous queries can be executed efficiently in terms of space and time.

Specifically, we introduce the technique of data sketching. We will see how data sketching is applied to answer aggregate queries (e.g., self-join size, multi-join size) efficiently with a high probability of getting a small error.
